12 Looks For Christmas
Whether it’s your work Christmas Party, end of year events with friends, Christmas cocktails or those Christmas day celebrations, planning the perfect Christmas party outfit can feel like a lot of pressure. Let’s be honest who needs more pressure at this time of year? So here I am to help and give you the 12 looks of Christmas! I mean for Christmas.
These looks will take you from casual picnics and fun activities to the most glamorous of Christmas events. I’ve also made sure they are weather appropriate for all of us Australian’s wanting to look festive in forty degrees.
Don’t forget you can find all of these great Christmas looks using the Trendii app! Simply load any picture of your favourite festive look into the app, choose your search options like sale items or designer brands and get a great selection of options you can shop then and there.
The first look of Christmas is this gorgeous tie front mini dress. The pink and silver metallic fabric is perfect for the festive season! Elegant bell sleeves and the mini cut make it a great option for cocktails or dinner but the tie front give it a summery feel making it an option for Christmas Day with family too. I’m a big fan of tie front pieces because it creates flexible sizing across the bust.
The second look of Christmas is a red jumpsuit! We knew a red outfit was coming and it’s the most traditional way to be festive! Jumpsuits are a perfect option for a work christmas party or those christmas celebrations where you’re not quite sure what you’ll be up to. They are so versatile, looking elegant and smart but at the same time you can easily kick your heels off and play lawn bowls, climb onto a boat or play games with the kids. They are comfortable and stylish and can go with sandals or stilettos so you’re covered for everything.
For the third look of Christmas this floral playsuit. Similar versatility to the jumpsuit but the short version is great on a hot summers day and I think a little bit more fun. Its also great for showing off your summer tan. It’s a little more relaxed and comfortable than a mini dress but still just as cute and elegant. Wear with heels for the cocktails and sandals for a picnic.
The fourth look of Christmas is this beautiful Swan maxi dress. Swans are a great pattern for Christmas as they feature in the 12 days of Christmas poem as the seventh gift (seven swans are swimming). Fun facts aside this would make a beautiful option for a casual Australian Christmas day or a pre Christmas catch up with friends. Dress it up with heels and some delicate jewellery or wear it as styled here. Also you can eat a much Christmas lunch or boxing day leftovers as you like and still be comfy in this one.
The Fifth look of Christmas is a short and top combo. I think if you’re lucky enough to celebrate Christmas in summer especially by the beach, with the sunshine, white sand and blue water, you might as well embrace that in your Christmas look. Crisp white shorts with golden details and an crystal blue top are a summers day in an outfit! You can style this with heels or sandals for another versatile look that will take you from drinks to Christmas day and even a NYE party by the beach!
The sixth look of Christmas is a metallic mini. This is definitely Christmas Party style. Perfect for a night out on the town, cocktail bar or hitting the dance floor. Bring the Christmas sparkle with this gorgeous metallic fabric. If you have someone in mind for a mistletoe kiss, you ought to be able to get their attention in this look. Not one for midnight mass.
The seventh look of Christmas. If you’re going for a more angelic look, white is a perfect option for Christmas. This would make a stunning option for drinks, dinner or Christmas day. It’s definitely a more elegant option but if you can’t dress up at Christmas, when can you. It’s also an investment piece because it will come in handy all year round. White is always a classic and whether its, easter, special occasions or the races, you’ll have the perfect dress ready to go.
For the eight look of Christmas, here’s something more casual. a classic white tee and stripe short combo. These paper-bag waist and navy stripe shorts are very nautical. They are the perfect look for lots of casual events, afternoon drinks, any activity based catch ups or picnics.
The 9th look of Christmas is this sparkling gold long sleeve dress. Perfect for evening events, it’s that real festive glamour that you can embrace at this time of year. The elegant length and fitted cut create an elevated silhouette. It’s also going to be a beautiful option for New Years Eve!
The tenth look for Christmas! Red and green aren’t the only colour for Christmas. Pink can be a great option and this beautiful dress could be dressed up or down to take your from day drinks to dinner or a garden party.
The eleventh look of Christmas is a classic and perfect for those evening events. You absolutely can’t go wrong with red and green velvet at Christmas. With so many styles to choose from you can really find the style to suit you. There are also lots of vintage styles that come in these fabrics too so if you want to try a classic silhouette or look like a Christmasy Joan from mad men there’s definitely options for you .
The twelfth and final look of Christmas will have you looking like the prettiest Christmas ornament on the tree. In fact you will well and truely outdo the tree. If you’re anything like me and not afraid of a little sparkle why not go completely glam in a beaded gown. If you can’t sparkle for the festive season, when can you!
I hope you find the perfect look for Christmas and the holiday season! Have fun and don’t forget you can bring joy to others with your style!
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year from Trendii!
